- Worth noticing
- The workflow includes PS1 memory budgets, explicit scene loading, packaging, and DuckStation testing.
Field notes
The toolchain organizes retro-console development around explicit constraints: the documentation calls out memory budgets, optimization, multi-scene loading, visibility validation, and PS1 packaging. Its scripting surface is described through a Lua API spanning input, physics, UI, animation, persistence, and scene management. The homepage also names DuckStation as a testing target, while leaving download and licensing details unspecified.
